Hi! I give the most awkward hugs in the world. I also write books. I'd opt for one of my books over one of my hugs. Lucky for you, I write a lot of them.

The New York Times bestseller And I Darken, the first in an epic trilogy based on a gender-swapped Vlad the Impaler, is out now. It's filled with love daggers, which are like love triangles only much sharper and way more likely to kill you. Now I Rise, book two, releases June 2017.

My first novel for younger readers, Beanstalker and Other Hilarious Scarytales, is coming from Scholastic in August 2017. It's delightfully devious.
